12 weeks along

Myth · #1 Mar 8, 2006, 03:55 PM

Well I haven't been on recently. I've been working alot and been really tired. I went to my dr. appt today and heart the babies heartbeat. It sounded so far away...lol... He said that my uterus was big for just 12 weeks and ordered an ultra sound. He said that there were three reasons that this could happen. One being that I didn't shrink back to normal size after the last birth, two I was farther along than we originally thought, or three it could be twins...lol. Well the u/s went fine and I wanted to share our happy news with the friends i've made here. I guess that I'm going to have to start buying two of everything. I'm going to try to include both of the u/s pics.

Congratulations!!! Wow twins, that's really exciting! Do you have any other kids, or are these your first? I guess we will be having our kids around the same time probably. I'm close to 22 weeks right now. I wish you all the best!

I have a 9yr old and a 3yr old. Both girls. I'm only 12 weeks but my dr said that generally twins are born early. I'm in shock myself right now...lol...I never even suspected.

Wow then you're going to have a big family when the twins come! Actually I always wanted 4 or 5 kids, but I might change my mind after giving birth!

Congratulations! If one baby is a blessing than I guess two means you are doubly blessed.

The funny thing is I wasn't taking fertility drugs at all and twins don't run in my family or his... I don't know why my body decided to release two eggs (doc says they are more than likely faternal) but there is still a small chance that there identical. I'm really not that old at 27 and i've heard that the older you are the more likely the chance of twins. So I guess everything happens for a reason right.
As for the pain of child birth orange as soon as you see that baby your probably going to forget all about it. Thats what happened to me and besides if you have ever had kidney stones they hurt alot worse than giving birth. I had those at six month along with my oldest... let me just say OUCH!!!!!!
Dually blessed yep thats us. I just hope I can get some help in the first month. We are also going to have double the feeding and diapers. Wow... I can't wait.
Hope you get your wish jesushelper. I had hoped for it but never expected it to happen. lol.
I am not sure how long i'll be able to continue to work. Bedrest is normal for a woman carrying mutiples. I went from a low risk normal pregnancy to a high risk one in the matter of an hour. I wouldn't mind some bedrest right now. I get so exhausted now. I work in a store at the mall so i'm on my feet for anywhere from six to nine hours a day helping ppl and thats very hard on me now. I will probably quite and take care of the babies when and if I'm put on bedrest. Child care isn't an option now lol... thank you all for your positive replies and I will keep you posted on their development. My next u/s isn't until week 20 and I will try to post pics of them then. right now were hungry so I think something small is in order. post again soon

That's good to know... and actually I HAVE had kidney stones, 3 years back. They are horrible, horrible, horrible!! I wanted to absolutely die. So I guess if childbirth isn't as bad, I'm all set to have my big family!

If you're so tired, then yeah maybe you should rest more. Do you work full time? At least go down to part time if you can. Myself, I can't imagine working right now. I'm very tired too, and I often sleep in quite late in the morning. I do all the housework and cooking and shopping, plus take care of the cat and dog, and that's more than enough work for me!

Anyways, keep us posted! I'm so excited for you and I wish you a very healthy pregnancy!

I think i'm going to start looking for something online now so that when they are born i can stay at home and work. I'm so tired of working retail in malls. I mean I have great customer service skills and well i'm not really sure what i'm quilified to do online but I can edit papers pretty well and would love to write for someone. I just don't know quite yet. As for going to half time I would love to but we just simply can't afford that right yet. So i'll tough it out for the time being and just sleep when I can. lol...
